Indian River County Sheriff’s detectives said that Pedro Torres fled the area after his wife, 45-year-old Vicky Torres, was found dead early Sunday morning inside their Vero Beach home.

Preliminary evidence suggests that Torres killed her before leaving, according to detectives.

Police told WPLG that they think that Torres is hiding in a van in the mall parking lot.

Live news footage of the scene just after 11 a.m. shows armed SWAT team members near the vehicle. Someone on a bullhorn is pleading for Pedro Torres to display his hands and come out of the vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911. Tipsters may be eligible for a reward of up to $3,000 by contacting Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800-273-TIPS (8477) or by visiting their website at www.tcwatch.org.
